Fox News aired this photo yesterday, claiming it was taken by a National Security Agency satellite over Afghanistan seven years ago. “This enhanced digital image clearly shows terrorist leader Winkie in the courtyard of an al Qaeda training camp near Tora Bora,” an NSA official told Fox. However, the New York Times reported today that, in fact, no one could confirm where or when the photo was taken, since it was “discovered near a 410-foot mound of satellite photos kept outside NSA headquarters. A gentle breeze blew the photo down to the feet of an NSA employee assigned to sift through the images for any signs of terrorist activity. The employee was reportedly sent to the mound as punishment for smoking in the men’s room.”
